There shouldn't be any GC limits - problems like this are more
likely caused by corrupt data or performing callbacks without
the proper annotations (i.e. performing callbacks from C to
Scheme without going through a foreign-callback-lambda[*]).

Can you provide some example code? Are you using the FFI
and perhaps callbacks?
